I am one of the pre-booking type of guys, I plan for any trips months in advance and book everything long before embarking on a trip.
But, in Istanbul, You will considerably save much more by booking in person once you are there. All the tours that appear costly from a distance are actually much cheaper when booked on the spot. Donβt even book from your hotel. Take a bus or tram and go to the spot.
I saved a lot of money and headache by not booking trips in advance for Istanbul.
I mean i am on in a tight budge but at the same time i want to explore istanbul.
Don't book online. For example an online Bosporus tour which is 70 dollars per person can be had for 15 dollars per person by going to the dock and looking around for one.
Should I trust activities offera from famous website when visiting Istanbul?
Obviously booking.com is legitimate, but on a tight budget you don't need to book those activities in advance. Stay in Sultanahmet and the great city of Istanbul will be a walk in the park.
